Sunday, April 7, has been set as G-Day—the Great Day for Giving—by the Women's Division of the Allied Jewish Campaign. It is the 'day on which the women of our community are asked to assist the United Jewish Appeal in its great rescue efforts in behalf of the persecuted Jews who are fleeing from Egypt, Hungary and Iron Curtain countries: This is a call to our women to respond generously to the volun- teer workers who will ask them for their contributions to the rescue activities and for the support of 50 additional local, national and overseas service-rendering agencies. `G-Day' Call to the Jewish Women in Our Community For 1957 Allied' Campaign Secretary Dulles' Prejudices in E JEWISH NEWS Israel, Egypt - Conflict A Weekly Review Milton Friedman's of Jewish Events- Expose on Page 2 Michigan's Only English-Jewish Newspaper—Incorporating The Detroit Jewish Chronicle VOLUME XXXI — No. 5 cogt. 27' 17100 W. 7 Mile Rd. — VE 8-9364 — Detroit 35, April 5, 1957 Expose of Below-the-Belt Hitting Propaganda Against Israel By Detroit Club Commentary, Page 2 $5.00 Per Year; Single Copy 15c Israel Presses Navig tion Rights; Refugee Issue Aired _ Detroiters Join Israelis', Project for Supermarkets Outstanding supermarket dealers in Detroit last week joined with an Israeli group in organizing the Super-Sol Corporation for the purpose of establishing the first supermarket in Tel Aviv. Local leaders who made the project possible were headed by Nathan and John Lurie, Tom and Al Borman, Irwin I. Cohn and Sam Frankel. Israelis who were here to inspire this effort were Herbert Hordes, Allan Feinberg and Ben Zion Ben- Chayim. They returned to Israel this week. The Israel government has encouraged this project and will assist it financially with loans. The sponsors of this project stated that they expect the first supermarket to be completed in Tel Aviv within eight months, others will follow. The sponsors of this project said they were heartened not only by the financial aid to be given by the Detroit investors, but also by their offer to utilize their experi- ences in supermarket construction and operation. This project, they said, will assist Israel in lowering food prices and in reducing the cost of living index -. Israel this week definitely went on record that- she will uphold her navigation rights and will reject attempts to inject irrelevant issues, especially the refugee prob- lem, in the present Challenging Middle East issue.. A major development was a Foreign Ministry official's declaration; in answer to Egyptian President Nasser, that there is absolutely no connection between the Arab refugee question and the issue involving freedom of the 'seas. He said that Israel is prepared to discuss • the refugeJ question "at any time the Arab states want to," and there were indications that. Israel is prepared to offer coinpensation in an over-all dis- cussion of the problems relating to peace.' • -- At the same time, however, Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion and other Israel .officials asserted that a test sailing of an Israeli boat will be made through the Suez_ Canal, and that if the boat is prevented from -passing or is confiscated it will -be inter,. preted as an act of war by Egypt. Disappointment was expressed in Jerusalem over the report that a Palestine Arab force would -help the United Nations Emergency Force patrol the Gaza Strip. Ad- mitting that "there is nothing at all we can do about it; except expi- ess our regret," he Foreign Ministry spokesman said it only goes to prove how helpr•ss the UNEF is in the face of Egyptian pressures." He said Israel interprets it as "a .1 ether return of the Egyptian army" to the area that was conquered and later evacuated Israel under UN and U. S. pressures. While the United States expressed its displeasure over Nasser's proposals for running the Suez Canal, the apparent acceptance of his terms is interpreted as further defiance of the -UN decisions by Egypt. On the refugee question, an Israeli spokesman said it cannot be solved without t resettling them in Arab countries, since it would be impossible to bring them back (Continued on Page 28) Travel Ban Lifted.

Detailed Allied Jewish Campaign Reports on Page 40 TF,L AVIV—Israeli economic circles Tuesday welcomed the announcement that the United States Government had lifted the ban on AMerican travel to Israel, but voiced regret that action came too late to save the tourist season for Passover. - It is not considered possible - to arrange hi the limited time left the customary holiday grOup tours ffom the United States, although it is hoped a number of individual tourists will now come. The announcement that the United States Government had lifted the ban on American travel to Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Syria was made Monday night. American passports are now valid for travel in these countries for the first time since last November, following the Sinai operation. American officials and their dependents who were evacuated from the Middle East at that time have now been authorized to return. Israeli circles expect that their return will soon be followed by resumption. of American economic aid to Israel. Embassy officials and staff members of the U.S. Operations Mission are expected back here this week. In Jerusalem, Premier Ben-Gurion who Monday chided the U. S. for its delay in lifting the ban, welcomed the ending of restrictions Tuesday.- He- expressed the hope that "many Americans will now visit the Land of the Bible." He assured them "a warm welcome and traditional hospitality." Even Independence Day, Tours May Be Ruined NEW YORK—State, Department action in lifting the ban on travel to Israel came too late for Passover , visits by American Jews, officials of tourist agencies specializing in Israel tours told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency Tuesday. Bookings can still- be made by air, the officials said, but none of them reported definite bookings for Israel trips. One official • explained that. American Jews going to Israel for Passover usually plan extended visits and normally -book their tours .three to four months in advance. "The Passover season is ruined," a travel agent said. "We had a lot. of bookings made as far back as October in the hope that the ban would be lifted in time, but they have all been cancelled except for maybe five per cent." The officials said that the last United States-to-Israel ship left March 28, due to arrive April 11. Ocean travel arrange- ments can still be made by ship to Europe and transfer there to Israel-bound boats, but few Americans were expected to take advantage of that possibility. "We're taking bookings for Independence Day," (May 5), said one travel agent, "and we aren't even sure the lifting of the ban came in time to - save that business."
